Volunteers and Patients Services

Volunteering at Capital Health

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Capital Health.

Your role as a volunteer can be as basic, and as important, as just being a friend to a patient in the trying days of illness.

Some of the volunteer opportunities at Capital Health:

Volunteers supplement employees by transporting patients, escort service, comforting and entertaining patients within the hospital through the Concierge Program, the Art Program, the Tea Cart program and other areas as needed.

Volunteers work at the Information Desks by providing visitors with information and assistance as needed.

Volunteers work with staff in the same day surgery area offering patients assistance and comfort as needed.

Volunteers supplement the paid staff in such service areas as the gift shops, the mailroom, building management, dietary, and the storerooms.

Pet Therapy volunteers visit patients throughout the hospital with their specially trained friends who comfort both patients and staff daily.

You can make a difference by providing friendliness and compassion to our patients and their families. As a volunteer you have the opportunity to enrich your life with new experiences while meeting new people and learning new skills while knowing your time and talent make a difference in our community.
